I learned to read Urdu in a month! This was truly a transformative experience. The instructor Ali is very patient, answers all of your questions, and shares linguistic and historical context wherever he can. This elevates the language learning experience to include explaining the cultural landscape of South Asia, and by extension (for Hindi speakers), our own heritage. It was a wonderful course - definitely worth my time. I would recommend it to anyone!

I have been taking lessons for some time, during each lesson I feel pushed towards learning more and more. There is a depth of knowledge at this language school and they are experts in their subject matter! Truly respect their expertise and grateful to learn from them.

For one year, I search for a school worldwide that would allow me to learn Hindi online with a very serious and technical approach. Zabaan was the only online school that I found that matched all my criteria. Firstly, the offer in terms of languages is very plural. Secondly, one can do all the classes online, without being charged for unaffordable amounts of money (some schools only target the USA dollar public). Thirdly, Zabaan seemed to be a place where languages are threaded as such, without culture, political or religious bias or indoctrination. After almost one year of classes, I can now say that they went beyond my expectations. I was assigned Vartika Pande as my teacher and I couldn’t be happier. Vartika was and is always attentive with my needs and expectations, and very comprehensive with the way that I like to learn languages. Her approach was to follow an excellent manual, adding other types of lessons to break the monotony and to add more value to the learning experience when needed. This was exactly what I was searching for, structure but with modern tools. The level of professionalism is equally balance with her soft skills, this is expressed by the she explains some more complex aspects of Hindi while understanding that some topics might be completely new for an European audience. Besides the learning experience, I must admit that both Vartika’s and Keziah’s understanding and flexibility in terms of schedule, changing time zones are beyond reproach. When needed I’ve been allocated other teachers, and schedule adaptations have never been an issue. On a complementary note, both the Zabaan website and the support used for the lessons show that the school, the teachers and the staff are committed to do a serious job. To conclude, I think I will stay with Zabaan for a while and I feel like starting other languages once Hindi and Urdu are in an advance stage. Thank you so much

Our Teachers.
Vartika
Vartika is a Hindi and Urdu language instructor. She was born and raised in Lucknow. She went on to pursue her degree in Political Science from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, DU. Having previously worked in the Public Policy sector, and being a politics enthusiast, the politicisation of the two languages (Hindi and Urdu) interests her. And being Lucknowi only makes her more passionate about deconstructing the nuances to bring out the differences and similarities between the two languages. Vartika started teaching at Zabaan in 2019.

Ahmad
With over 10 years of teaching experience, I am a dedicated language tutor specializing in Pashto, Dari (Farsi), and English. My passion for languages drives me to create engaging and effective lessons tailored to the unique needs of each student. I believe that language learning is not just about vocabulary and grammar, but also about understanding culture and context, which I incorporate into my teaching approach.
As a language learner myself, currently studying Arabic and Urdu, I understand the challenges and joys that come with acquiring a new language. This perspective allows me to empathize with my students and adapt my methods to enhance their learning experience. I utilize a variety of resources, including interactive activities, multimedia materials, and real-life conversation practice, to make each lesson dynamic and enjoyable.
My goal is to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated to reach their language goals, whether for personal growth, travel, or professional advancement. I am committed to helping my students not only learn a language but also embrace the culture and nuances that come with it.
Let’s embark on this language journey together!
